Wanfang URL Rewriter

As a software review, Wanfang URL Rewriter will only be of use to a limited audience - specifically those who are enrolled in Chinese universities with a subscription to the Wanfang Article Database. For those who fit this description, however, this browser extension could prove to be an incredibly useful tool.

Currently, users can find Wanfang Digitalized Journal articles through Google Scholar, but the URL associated with these articles is different from the one used by universities subscribed to the database. Instead, those universities use the China Education and Research Network (CERNET).

To address this issue, Wanfang URL Rewriter has been designed to rewrite the ilib wanfang article URL that is searched through Google Scholar into a CERNET URL, thereby allowing users to access the content they need through the proper channel.

It's worth noting that Wanfang URL Rewriter is a user-based JavaScript that requires compilation through the GreaseMonkey Compiler. As for system requirements, users will need to have Firefox version 1.5 or later installed in order to take advantage of this tool.
